Rewarded.

Mr.. Wood arrived recently in ST Paul
as the bearer of silent but substantial ex-
preston of the friendship of the bridge
mechanics of the Canadian Pacific for
their late superintendent, Daniel Leary,
who is now resident,of this city. The
souvenir was in the form of a check for
$1,000, and was placed at one of the banks
yesterday to his credit. This gentleman
is we'll known throughout the northwest.
For thirty years he resided in Minnesota
and saw Saint Paul emerge from infancy to
its present matured condition When the
Canadian Pacific was being constructed
he superintended the building of bridges
from Port Arther across the mountains.
It is only recently that he severed his con-
nection with the road, and henceforth will
reside in his native land.

Mail Service Needed.

Great Falls should new give earnest at
tention to the matter of securing mail SER
vice to the surrounding sections tributary
to this city, and where such is required.
For instance, we ought to have direct
mail route to Belt and Nsihart at the ear
liest possible moment. 1t is probable that
the contractors on the Billings line will
run to Great Fa Is soon, and they should
receive all needed encouragement from our
citizens. Mail service directly to Sand
Coulee, Truly, Milligan and On to Fort
Logan is also required, and steps should
be taken to secure the same. We ought
to have, too, a direct mail route from Great
Falls to Choteau and Dupuyer, and if the
matter were represented in its proper
light to the department it weuld readily
be granted.
This increased mail service is not SO
much needed for the benefit OF Great Falls
as for the residents Of the sections nam
ed and there should be movement 'all
along the line" to secure the same. With
good, strong petitions, such IS could be
readily secured, delegate Toole would
have no difficulty IN securing from the
department these new mail routes. But
Great Falls must move first in the matter,
and should do SO Ut once.

Declared Valid.

BozEMAN, November 9-The case of A.
K. 1erkes against the board of county
commissioners has been admitted to trial
by Judge McLeary. The suit is for cer-
tain amount for printing and publishing
for the county. The contract was held
by the plaiatif who lis publisher of the
Bozeman Chronicle While he held such
a contract, the printing and publishing of
the county was given to another printing
house. He brought suit for the recovery
of meney thus paid out in contravention Of
his contract. The suit involves the sta
biiity of what is known as the ''old print
ing law" which was repealed last winter.
The defendants demurred on the ground
that the law was imperative and void
when the work was taken from the Chron-
icle Judge MeIeary over-ruled the de-
murrer, thus virtually deciding thes sta
biliiy of the law up to the time it was re-
pealed. As several other cases involving
the san points have been brought in 9TH
er counties, The decision may beeonsider-
ed very important.

OF Interest To Stockmen.

Mr.. Robert Vaughn, who is In the city
today, informs us that the horse disease is
about checked on. his ranch and that his
mare, Viola Belle, is the only animal he
has lost He ascribes all credit to DIR.
Williams, a veterinarian now at his place,
for checking the dangerous malady. DR.
Williams was highly recommended to him
by some of the leading horse men of Hell
ena and trial of several weeks has
thoroughly convinced Mr.. Vaughn that
there are few ills to which horse flesh is
heir to that the doctor can not successfully
combat. He chanced to be at Helena
when Viola Belle was taken sick, return.
ing three days after her death. Then a
saddle horse was taken with the new dis
ease ana afterwards one of his fine stall
lions. They were taken in hand by veter-
marian Williams and both are now we'll.
Mr.. Vaughn says he can most cheerfully
recommend DR.. Williams to the stockmen
of Great Falls and vicinity, If they have
occasion to require his services, believing
that in doing so he is rendering them a
service.

Followed Them IJp.

Last week one Of W. G. Gillette's sheep
herders on the upper Dearborn, returned
to his cabin to find his blankets gone. He
was Scotchman, and the blankets had
come from the old country and were priz-
ed very highly. He resolved not to loose
them if he could help it, and starting on
the trail of two saddle animals that he sus-
pected to carry ne thieves, chased them
clear across the mountains. On the way
he picked up a constable and the two ran
down their men, arrested them, got the
blankets and brought the thieves back TO
Augusta. where they were fined $50 each.
How is that for Scotch persistence?

Good Flour.

The Cataract mill of this city is doing
famous work this year. For family use
it best grade four-the Diamond brand
takes precedence of all others in the mar
ket. It is considered equal, and by many
superior, to the best -four of Minnesota.
Bread made from it seems to be sweeter.
while it has all the whiteness and fineness
of other favorite brands. AS soon as the
Montana Central is completed to Helena
and Butte, the Cataract mill -four will be
put on those markets and is certain to find
ready sale. Leading millers of Minneap-
oils express astonishmenr that so good an
article of -four is made in comparatively
small mill. and from the mixed varieties
of wheat at present grown in Montana.

Satisfactory Sales.

Dan FIowerree whs arrived in Helena
Saturday evening, reports fairly satisfac-
tory sales of catt e in Chicago. taking as a
basis the prevailing prices of eastern mar
kets the present season. Hss shipments
consisted of 1900 head of four and five
year old steers, sent forward from Big
Sandy over the Manitoba last month. The
weight per head was less than ], 400
pounds and the prices realized averaged
1886 per hundred for the lot. Mr.. Flow
erree reports the sales of Jesse Taylor as
averaging per hundred slightly less than
his own, though the weight OF the animals
$500 head was somewhat below his own
shipments. He speaks of the Manitoba as
tue best constructed new road he ever
travelled over and the country through
which it passes as one Of the best sections
of the north west.

sion show fraud and forgery, and cashier
6. G. Crecilins is now under arrest charg-
ed with false entry and forgery. Presi-
dent Overstoitz would be arrested If he
was not on his death bed. The bank ex-
aminer has made some startling discoveries
today witch caused him to have cashier
G. G. Creciiius arrested on the charge of
false entry. 1t is reported that on the
books the figures of more than fifty entries
have been changed; it is still further stat
ed that on two occasions his reports to the

Crecilius was interested in five concerns,

ranging from $50,000 to $15O,O00 each
